ATTACHED TO HIS REGIMENT, Etorle* of a RdfUltr Army Veteran Who Wouldn't Quit th? Service. The old soldier's attachment for regi ment, company and officers ii not -with out its compensation, or he presumes upon it and ia indulged. A gray-haired veteran, though something of an incor rigible, would have his offending met with a leniency at which the younger soldier or war recruit would marvel. Indeed, it ls the fact that not a few old soldiers of the past owned their regi ments, or believed they did, and acted up to their belief. Jack Carpenter, "H" Company, Third Infantry, had that bolief as strong as any man who ever wore the blue in the ranks for sixty-five consecutive years Superannuated for years, he would not take a discharge, but at the end of each enlistment he would get a dispensation from the war department, and take on again "just to stay with the old Third." A veteran of the Mexican war, ne served faith fully during the civil wai*, and in 1863, with his regiment, was sent from the Army ot the Potomac to help quell the draft riots in New York. The regiment, having sucessfuly ac complished Its mission, gave a bail on Governor's Island before departing for the front. Jack Carpenter, as neat a looking soldier aa ever pipe-clayed a belt, along with a veteran comrade, Mullaney, waa detailed to.look after the gentlemen guests ia their retiring room. Carpenter met every batch of guests with elaborate courtesy and, conducting each to a side board, effusively protested that each had better take a nip before "jining" the ladies. Jack the host, courteously drank with each group or squad of visitors, and finally he and Mullaney, who had been equally hospitable, got into a dispute Forth with Jack repaired to the ballroom to find his captain and have the contro versy settled. The ball was at its height, with the band playing a langu orous waltz, while the floor was filled with dancers impatient for the go-note of the music. Just at thia interesting moment Private Carpenter, "H" com pany, Third United States Infantry, stalked ia, unsteadily, face flushed, but determination stamped upon lt Cap tain Andy Sheridan, his company com mander, espied him, arid fearing some outbreak, sought to hide him from the crowd of gayly garbed ladies. Carpen ter detected him and exclaimed: "No you don't, sonny, you don't hide from old Jack Carpenter. I am after knowing who ranks in the cookhouse; do I rank Mullaney or does Mullaney rank me?" After the war Carpenter accompanied his regiment west and took station at Fort Lyon, Colo. There, so well ad vanced in years, he was practically ex cused from all duty, only being re quired to show up at Sunday morning Inspection, so he might be kept on the muster roll. This he always did, look ing as soldierly and clean as if he Were a toy soldier instead of a war worn veteran of two wars and scores of in dian expeditions and scouts. It so hap pened that Second Lieutenant Louis Hamilton, a grandson of Alexander Hamilton, was assigned to duty at Fort Lyon and to the command of Carpen ter's company. A roayjaced, beardless Rnd_?ai&i?tiMttNfl0H9K Hamilton .inijiTy morning ,He went lng over that he d imtareas'fh^'?ren with the SmffiFne was an old hand at-the business. In turn he took each gun and inspected lt. He came to Carpen ter, looked him over, took his gun, in spected it, and, returning it to him, said patronizingly: "What is your name, my man?" "Jack Car-pen-ter," was the answer, delivered with the faintest suspicion, to those who knew him, that old Jack had been early at the bar at the sutler'? store. "Well," continued Hamilton, all inno cent ot offense, ycu are the cleanest man in the company." "Sonny," with a snort, ejaculated old Jack, "I was In the army before you wens born."-Chicago Times-Herald. Dishonored Drafts.

FBOF. E. B. EOWMAX. Some time ago he had a severe illness which was cured almost miraculously. A reporter hearing of this, Interviewed him regarding his experience. Prof. Bowman was in the midst of his work when the re porter called, but he cheerfully gave him a hearing. "A year ago last fall," said the professor, "I broke down with nervous exhaustion, and was unable to properly attend to my duties. I tried different physicians but with no relief, and also used many different pro prietary medicines, spending almost fifty dollars for these medicines alone. I thou succumbed to a seigo of the grip in the middle of winter, and was left in a much worse condition. My kidneys were fearfully disordered, and my digestion became very poor. I was indeed in a bad condition. "A minister in conference learning of my condition advised me to tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had heard much about the wonderfnl curative powers of this medicine, bet it was with reluctance that I was finally persuaded to try it, as it seemed that nothing could do me any good. However, I procured three boxes of pills and took them strictly according to direc tions. By the time the last dose was taken I was almost cured, and In bettor health than I had been for years. I continued using the pills awhile longer and was entirely cured. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. WUliams' Pink Pi'ls for Pale People. Such was Professor Bowman's wonderful story, which was fully endorsed by the fol lowing affidavit: HAKTSVILLE, Ind., March 16, 1897. I affirm that the above accords with the facts in my case. B. W.

Inscribed His Bequests on the Back of a Photograph of His Heir, An original and unique document, in the form of a will executed by James P. Pettegrew, was admitted to probate in Judge Clark's department of tho Su perior Court here this afternoon. The author of the strange instiument died in this city a few weeks ago at the age of seventy-one. He possessed an utter disregard for the ordinary forms of legal procedure, but had such shrewd ness that the instrument by which he devised his estate met all require ments, in the opinion of Judge Chirk. The testator had an excellent photo graph of his son, George W. Pette grew, a young man, who resides in Randsbnrg, the new mining camp. He took a sheet of note paper just the size of the photograph and very carefully pasted it on the back of the pioture. Then he wrote his will on the back of the photograph. It was a short docu ment, and the phraseology is suffi ciently out of the ordinary to make it of unusual interest. It was as follows: "Los Angeles, Cal., January 21, 1897. "This ls a photo of George W. Pettegrew, who, la case of my death, ia the owner of all my property of any klcd whatsoever. George W. Pettegrew was born December, 1860. His address ls Ranisburg, Keru County, Cal. Telegraph him. He wUl como and pay all honest debts. "J. W. PETTEGREW, "Father of George W. Pettegrew. "Witness: Andrew J. Rideout." It was in the handwriting of tho old man,, except for the signature of Mr. Rideout, in whose hands Pettegrew placed the will and who kept it until the death of the testator. There are other children of the deceased, but he left his estate to his son George. The estate is worth about $4000. It con sists of $1000 in money in a safety de posit box at the Farmers' and Mer chants' Bank in this city and real and -personal property in the Slate of Wash ington.-Los Angeles Correspondence of San Francisco Call. ?u Believe the Eyes.

"People out West," observed a Kan sas Congressman, "have learned a number of things from the Indiaus,and many of them are of value. Probably the most valuable has been in the mat ter of cyclones. We have learned that whenever a city or town was built on the site of an old Indian settlement, it has been free from any of the cyclones which have now and them come along in the Western country. How the In dians were observant and smart enough to select sites for settlement which have always escaped cyclones ia more than we have been able to learn to study or investigation, but the fact re mains that towns or cities on original Jjidian settlements are cyclone-prooi. These -towns which aie located thus fortunately use their Iudian origin as an advertisement and as a guarantee for settlement. Thus lots in an origi na! Indian settlement town are sold for a higher price and are in greater de mand than in towns laid out by white men. It is rather rough on our intell igence, but it is dollurs to pennies that it is right. The cyclone insurance com panies will insure a policy on houses in an Indian settlement town for one third the prices they charge for similar policies in other sections. They have found that it pays them better to issue the low-rate policies than other poli cies at the higher rate."-Washington Star. Victoria's Palace on Wheel*.
